Papaya Coconut (Come Along)
In 1998 Kikki Danielsson recorded the song together with Dr. Alban, with lyrics in English written by Dr. Alban, and released it on the single Dr. Alban vs. Kikki Danielsson - Papaya Coconut (Come Along), which was released on September 21, 1998. The music was re-arranged from classical Svensktoppen pop to Eurodance, and for that reason more like a Dr. Alban song than a Kikki Danielsson song. The single peaked at #22 at the Swedish singles chart. This version was also included as the last track on the 1999 Kikki Danielssons orkester album Dagar som kommer och går.
